Crazy Spin won at Southwell last month but has been beaten since and is now 6lb higher. LUNA PRINCESS (NAP) is preferred having placed at Carlisle last week on only her second start handicapping. First-time headgear should bring further progress today and Mick Appleby’s filly gets the vote. Smith is another unexposed type but was well beaten by Poetic Motion when the latter won at Bath earlier while Dark Poet tries his luck over this longer trip having shown little progress in handicaps so far. Mitigator slides further down the weights without yet showing any benefit.
